Learning objectives

The course is designed to introduce students to a critical understanding of key concepts of the discipline (1st part) and to analyze contemporary situations related to the world of communication through them, particularly those linked to migration processes and the categories used to talk and write about them (2nd part), highlighting the peculiar sensitivities and the potentialities of an anthropological perspective.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Students are encouraged to read "Prima lezione di antropologia" by Francesco Remotti (2000)

Program

ENGLISH
Anthropological knowledge is a practical knowledge, action oriented, and constantly engaging with other world views and changes of the present. Starting from these premises, the course will be divided into two parts:
Part one: Concepts and methodological tools within Anthropology
The critical analysis of some objects of study of the discipline, such as culture, boundaries, belonging, differences, representation of alterity, practices and local knowledge as well as the methodological tools of the discipline (participant observation and ethnographic interviews).
Part two: Differences, cultural stereotypes, resources in relation to contemporary migrations.

Didactic methods

Teaching methods:
a) lectures
b) discussions
c) lab activities
d) meetings with experts
In-Person Attendance is highly recommended as it creates an environment conducive to active and inclusive learning.

Learning assessment procedures

For those attending classes: class participation, in-class presentation and reports/papers. More specific details will be given at the beginning of the course.
For those not attending classes: final oral exam on the whole program. The student is asked questions about the course readings and about the main thematic issues they addressed. The student should bring with her/him the texts which s/he has studied.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The oral test wants to verify:
- the breadth of knowledge gained;
- the use of a correct language;
- the ability to make connections and to discuss them.
Erasmus and international students may study the texts and take the final exam in English or French. If interested, they need to discuss the choice of the new reading materials with me during Office hours.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final evaluation is based on 30/30.
For those choosing to write the final paper: paper (max 26/30) + oral discussion (max 4/30).
